Our good buddy, James had his house burn down this week. His house and his motorhome burned completely and are a total loss. James, his wife Nicole, and little baby Jameson made it out of the house safely. They lost irreplaceable memories and what didn't burn or get smoke damage, got damaged with 1000s of gallons of water used to put out the fire. This is devastating for his family especially at this time before the holidays. We are asking for any donation that you can give to help his family through this tough time.

He has insurance but it will take months for that to start reimbursing his immediate expenses. He will use these funds to cover what insurance doesn't cover. For whatever insurance does reimburse him for, any excess donations will be donated to organizations that help the offroading community such as PNW4WDA, WOHVA, and Blue Ribbon Coalition.

The Goldman family appreciates everything you can do to help them through this tough time.

It’s been 42 days since the fire and we finally moved into the rental place today. We will call this home until the house is rebuilt. Jameson will take his first steps and say his first words here in this new place. Thank you all for being so supportive during our hard times. I am excited to get the rental furniture and things unpacked so we can go back to some form of normalcy.

It’s looking like we may move into a temporary house some time in December. Jameson is back to as normal as he can be with the current situation. Thanks to all of you he has most of his toys and things back. He is our smily boy again. I am still working on the insurance claims. The Jeep claim is done and paid but I have not settled with the RV or house yet. The RV looks like the loan will be a wash, so we won’t be out money on it. The down side is we won’t be able to replace the Rv for what we owed, so there won’t be an Rv in our near future. I know this event is going to change my future forever and I already see it changing Nicole. Thank you all again for all the help and donations you have made.

Insurance sent us an update with an approved place for us to live until the house is built. They will also furnish it with the basics of a home. We are excited to see the new temporary home that Jameson will have his first holidays and birthday in.

Nicole, Jameson and I cant thank all of you enough for your amazing words of encouragement and offers of help. This money means more than all of you know in this time of need for us. We have replaced most of Jameson’s favorite things to make his bad situation a little more like home. My goal is to make this affect him as little as possible. The insurance company so far has been
very nice and I have made claims on the RV the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the house. Timeline is looking like a year before we have a house to move back in. I got lucky that when I setup my home owners insurance three years ago the agent suggested great coverage. We have a policy to pay for the temporary housing and there should be enough to pay for more than a year. Thanks to all of you we have more ability to bridge the gap until insurance starts to kick in. We consider all of you family and if there is anything we can do to help you in return please let us know.
